Whipped out a sharpie on my lunch break and doodled this one up. Second cast right after work on the edge of a pad field and I had one. Went back at dark and got another. There're perch here so I figured I'd try. The stock color wasn't getting bit anyway. The sharpie hasn't faded at all. Fished it again this morning and the color stuck nicely.

That Dark Sleeper is becoming my favorite bait, which is something considering I usually prefer to throw the big stuff.

I mostly slow roll it with a steady retreive just above the bottom with the tip up to keep it from plowing up goo. But it seems to get bitten regardless of retreive speed, hops, pops, etc.

Me too, and everyone of my buddies that bought them after I started sticking them regularly with the sleeper. It's like the wacky rigged senko of swimbaits.

I get more hits fishing it like a jig. But when reeling back in to make your next cast, hold on. I think they stalk it, then hammer it when it tries to "get away".
